Fugitive dust — the airborne particles kicked up by construction, excavation, gravel quarrying, and similar activities — is regulated under this bill in two ways: it requires commercial dust-producing facilities larger than a quarter acre to post publicly visible signage at their entrances listing the facility name, permit and business ID numbers, and contact information for both the owner and the Division of Air Quality; and it allows the Division of Air Quality to charge gravel, sand, and stone operations an annual compliance fee scaled to their emissions, ranging from up to $750 for the smallest emitters to up to $4,500 for the largest, with the Air Quality Board taking over fee-setting authority in 2028. Residents living near quarries, construction sites, or bulk material operations gain a clearer way to identify who is responsible for nearby dust and how to report concerns.
